Buducnost Voli survived the visit to Borc, and for more than 20 minutes in the hall near Morava, it seemed that Andrej Žakelj's team would routinely play another visit in the AdmiralBet ABA League.
The people of Podgorica had to go through everything and anything in the 8th round, but this is a triumph that is worth even more because it confirmed that this team has a winning mentality and is often stronger than problems - Budućnost celebrated 88:82 for its seventh victory in the regional competition .
For a long time, it smelled like the job was done, because Budućnost had a plus 18 at halftime (54:36), at the beginning of the third quarter and a maximum difference of 20 (56:36). And then came the unreal crash that brought things back to square one.
Namely, in three minutes the team from Čačan made an 18:0 run and reduced it to 56:54 before Budućnost woke up - it was clear that only then the real fight began, but the "blues" were ready for it and again - just like against Ulm in the Eurocup - found a way to get new points.
Borac took the lead 77:76 three and a half minutes before the end, and Budućnost responded with three-pointers by Rashid Sulejmon and Fletcher Maggi for 77:82 - then it was clear that they would not fall into the "channel" once again and that the game was decided...
Maggi was the most effective with 16 points, Jogi Ferrell scored 15, and Mateo Drežnjak also stood out with 14... Dionte Baldwin was the best in Borc with 17.
